The following are the official forum Rules. Obey or take "unforeseen consequences".

§1.1 General Rules

A. The internet is not a lawless place, so behave like your country allows you to.

B. The Board-Administration will have a look at the users who do no obey the rules.
The useres will bear the consequences, such as temporary and permanent bans.

C. You have no right to join the forum. You are a guest and you have the privilege
to be a part of the community. If you get banned there is a reason for that.

D. Illegal, pornographic, insulting or offensive texts, pictures, links, etc are absolutely restricted
and will not be tolerated.

E. Copying threads, posts or other texts out of this forum to another website or forum is just
allowed with the permission of the specified user, a moderator or an administrator.

F. They assume no liability to any tips, programs, codes or scripts which might cause any damage.

G. Every member has to respect the copyright of other users, sites or media.

H. If you want to register you should use a usual username. Try to keep it simple, eg. not "!§§UBER_Check3r"
or such things.

I. Advertisements of any kind are forbidden.

J. "Wannabe-Moderation" will be terminated.


§2.1 General Forum rules

A. If you want to open a new thread, have a look if you are in the right section
and if there's not already a post handling you'r topic. Keep in mind there's
a search-function, too.
Wrong placed posts have to be moved. If their count gets higher the administration
might have no more time for this action and just delete your thread.

B. Do not post the same things/topics in different forums. Double-posts will be removed.

C. Choose a title which contains all the main information about your topic. Topics
with titles like "I have a problem!", "Help!" or "My computer went crazy" will be deleted.

D. If you post a problem post any information which could help analyzing it (This includes screen captures or lists of the contents of your Addons folder). Don't force
the others ask every little thing. Hard- and Software-Info might help, too.

E. While writing have a look at the english grammar. A text without any commas, dots, spaces,
upper- or lower-case letters are not welcome.

F. Don't overuse questionmarks or exclamation marks. They're just annoying and show us your low intelligence.

G. Don't overuse smilies. Keep your post clear and readable.

H. If you want to quote from other sources you can do so, but you have to add
a link to the original source.

I. Pictures can be implemented with the [IMG]-tag and should not be oversized, so that
they don't destroy the forum.

J. Do not spam. Spamming is posting off-topic comments, other senseless things, short-messages with less than a
sentence.

K. There is an EDIT button, so use it. You don't have to make a new post if you just want
to add something.

L. Keep cool if there's not an answer within some hours. We are all just usual people who
spend their free time on here.

M. There will be no help for questions about cracks, cheats other other illegal things, so don't ask
and don't write about it.

N. We expect you to act respectful and friendly.

§2.2 Specific Forum rules: Help-Section

A. If you requested some help in this section and found a solution yourself it is your duty to post how you did it.


§2.3 "Need-Help"-Rules

A. List all your installed addons.

B. Make sure you have all the stuff installed the right way. If you don't know about that, then this should be your problem.

C. List the maps you have been playing when this happened.

D. List all errors which were shown.

E. Make sure your are playing the SB3 addon.*

F. Make sure you don't have LS2, RD2 or other SB2 related stuff installed if you want to play SB3.*

§3 Others

A. Sometimes the administration has to act against the rules. In such a case we will explain why we did what we did.

B. Do not act like an idiot. Be polite, don't complain without a reason, don't ask stupid things.
